Who has the most signatures?

According to a press release Dan Meuser does:

Meuser’s Grass Roots Organization Dominates Petitions Race

Large crowds, major endorsements, fundraising and petitions boost Meuser

Today, the Department of State made available the petition filings for the 10th Congressional District. The number of signatures that a candidate gathers shows the strength and depth of the grassroots organization they have supporting them. Continuing the momentum from major endorsements, his district wide 2008 Campaign kick-off Tour, and a 2-1 fundraising margin over the sitting Congressman in the 4th Quarter, Dan submitted over 4,100 petition signatures for ballot access.

Dan’s supporters gathered 2.5 signatures for every 1 that Chris Carney’s supporters turned in to the Department of State, over 2,300 more signatures than the nearest GOP competitor and submitted over 800 more than both of his GOP competitors combined. The campaign garnered significant signatures from every region of the district. Dan’s hard work to build the largest grassroots organization among the candidates continues to pay dividends, as evidenced by the number of signatures and the significant support throughout the district.

Let's see, the most money raised, the most meaningful endorsements, the most petition signatures garnered, sounds like Dan Meuser is doing something right.

Knock yourselves out naysayers, but you cannot ignore the stark reality of the situation, all of your trashing hasn't worked, the people of the 10th are smarter than that, they recognize a quality candidate when they see one.

I agree that the 10th has quality people who can see through sleazy attacks .. Dan Meuser has run hard and been working his buns off to meet people in every part of the turf.. I was impressed when I met him.. Only a dummy ( or maybe a dummycrat) would not see that the signatures are really important because they show that support...

glad to see that the nasty blog attacks and staged radio call in questions from the hackett / maderia camp have only contuniued to make them look low rent.... maderia's scorched earth tactics have made him a loser every time.. now hackett the panderer goes with him.. Too bad they can't see that it is time to give it up for the good of the party.. the real battle is against carney

Here's some info on the staged picture that's attached to Gort's article.

1. Dan never stood up and drew pictures of innovations. He's not a product guy. He's a salesman.

2. All the people in the picture are Pride employees who have nothing to do with the type of drawing that's shown. They are basic support staff and Dan wouldn't ever have that kind of meeting with those individuals ever.

All the nastiness is in full swing again. I have some thoughts on my blog about it but I'll echo them here. I was undecided up until last week. After seeing the obvious planned attacks from the Hackett camp and after seeing the Dems have already made Meuser their target, I'm supporting Meuser. The main differences between Meuser and Hackett is Meuser hasn't starting attacking like Hackett has and the Dems could care less about Hackett. I'm putting my support behind the guy who's going to win in April. I honestly think Madeira's involvment in the Hackett campaign was the biggest problem. Hey, there's always 2010.

Listen guys, Meuser is going to win the Primary election. It will probably not be that close. He might get about 40-45% of the vote. The majority of votes will be split between Hackett and anti-pay to play candidate Haire. When the general roles around Meuser's money will buy lots of tv spots, but not many votes. I've stated this here many times, he doesn't generate spirit in the every day electorate. Sorry Dan. You look like you tan a lot and have a good hair dresser, but you don't inspire us to vote Carney out.
